A real mixed tank can have bypasses, dead volumes, and recirculation.
Caption:
In a real mixed tank, there is not perfect mixing due to dead volumes, bypasses, and recirculation. In a real plug flow reactor or packed bed reactor, there is back-mixing, axial dispersion, and channeling. See Lec #10 for how to model these behaviors. (Figure by MIT OCW.)
